strange ae-86 shocker problem

on my car I took out some normal KYB inserts which had about 5000Km on them and fitted some Celica GT4 ST185 shockers with an 80mm spacer. When I tried it out it was softer than the screwed OEM shockers I had before the KYBs. Now I thought it was because I didnt prime them enough, so I took one out again, primed it heaps of times and put it back in, no difference. next I suspected that I was using them out of their working range so I borrowed a pipe cutter and took 60mm out of my struts and shortened my spacer to 20mm. I put them back and tested them, no difference. So I ordered a set of KYB AGX adustables which are intended for a ST-205 GT4, once again on the harest setting they are softer than my first KYB's. Now something out of a heavyweight (relativly speaking) GT4 in a sub tonne sprinter should feel rock hard, WTF is going on here? any help would be appreciated as this is getting expensive and I am starting to get really pissed off. To add to my frustration my sprinter engine decided to suddently lose the function of one cylender and start making a loud sound all while I was doing some testing.
